What happened to drag and drop?

Keep it simple man!

Garbage! Customizing the firewall for very restrictive port settings doesn't work like you would think. It's backwards and expensive. I don't want you to waste your time with this. Find a standalone firewall. x:

This app works pretty good. When pasting a URL into the main address window ditch the http:// or you will get an error window saying it can't find a file 'contents' on your local hdd.

Does not work with coppermine galleries.

Combined with pixxxsafe it's a good solution, but I find that if you use the browse feature of graphic converter you'll get better results, leaving pixxx to go the grabs.

This program is usefull for anyone who wants to d/l pictures off of the internet and not have to dig through each html page.

I'll prob. pay for this program. Will you release a universal binary?

This is the best MP3 encoder I have ever used. It is so simple and will batch process. Max and Lame are too complicated. This is the best program to use if you want a simple, powerful tool to encode MP3 files. It will encode AIFF files to MP3. Thanks for all the help over the years. Your program rocks.

Yeah, so this program works good. :D The preferences are fairly advanced it seems. Still a little buggy. I would be willing to pay $5.00 to $10.00 for this application. Thanks for the ease of read-only volume creation. :) I use the create from volume function a lot to back up my CDs!

GraphicConverter X 5.8.1

this program is COMPLETE garbage. The company provides NO documentation you have to pay for a manual! What nonsense. Also, GC does not work with gimp xcf files with multiple layers so if you want to convert a gimp file with say many layers u must flatten the image first and then convert in graphic converter, but that would be a waste of time since GIMP which is FREE will convert to other formats in the application. SO basically there is no documentation to graphic converter you have to pay for a manual and then on top of that the convert function will not handle gimp files with multiple layers. Stay AWAY!

Will NOT work on arccos disks

Works on all others.

This is sad because if you buy a legitimate copy and wish to put on a media center pc it's not possible.

Thanks for all the good help otherwise.

This program is very nice to use.

good. better than forking out $$$ for ps. had to wait like hours to get past the caching fonts bar. once that was done it loads fine. there seems to be a problem with the marquee on select none. i get this odd yellow marquee permanent ghosting around images. i wish select none worked properly. other than that flatten images works, opacity works, layers work, the palletts peel off but can't reseat pallet once unseated from main 'everything' pallett. the program does NOT work with extended desktop. the images will only span one display worth of pixels. this is an anchor point problem like with itunes. notice that your itunes window will not span the entire display like a safari browser window will. i was hoping an update in 10.4.4 for better dual monitor support. none. great app besides that. fast!!!!
